The Valorant Troops
There are in total 6 zones active as the Valorant Troops. They are-Lotus(L) zone, Split(S)
zone, Haven(H) zone, Pearl(P) zone, Ascent(A) zone) and Bind(B) zone.
Nicolo Laurent, the lead of all the Valorant Troop Zones, has informed you and your
team of CSE421_Lab_Project that Lotus(L) has been nominated as the central zone of
communication. This zone will be monitoring the rest of the zones across the Valorant
Troops’ intermediary communication. The distance(in kms) between each zone(value in
the cells) and the number of agent devices(value in the brackets) needed for the each
zone specific troop are listed below:

For instance, the distance or cost to travel from Split(S) to Lotus(L) is 3 kms and the
Split(L) zone needs 25 agent devices in total.
Requirements for creating the network infrastructure:
While creating the network infrastructure, you and your team were provided with certain
restrictions and rules that you needed to follow:
■
Choose an appropriate network address and create subnets to assign to each
branch with the least amount of waste.
■
Pearl(P) will have its own Web server and a DNS server. The agents will be able
to access the Pearl’s(P) Web server where upon entering the server either as
URL or IP address, it will show the message as an HTTP response:
“Pearl Troops are good at defending their zone.”
■
As mentioned, Lotus(L) is the most important zone; for security, they will use
static IP addressing while the other zones’ IP addresses will be assigned using
DHCP and handled by their network’s DHCP server.
■
Ascent(A) and Bind(B) will be communicating a lot, which is why they will
require Email servers to be set up so that they can exchange mail among
themselves. Make sure the email configurations are all set up for sending mail,
receiving mail and replying to mail.
■
Haven(H) <-> Split(S) and Ascent <-> Bind must be connected with each other
manually.
■
Establish connections among all the zones with the shortest route possible.
When establishing a connection, keep the following things in mind:
o There has to exist at least one floating route among the zones.
■
Showing 1 device per 5 devices is enough to represent the full active agent
devices in each zone. Keep in mind that Lotus(L) will have laptops only.
■
You have to remember the default route cannot be used while exchanging any
packets. Data will be delivered using static or dynamic routes only.
■
Configure at least one network to be routed dynamically and one to be routed
statically.
■
You have to be able to successfully ping from one zone to another after all the
setups are properly completed.
Deliverables:
1. The network mentioned above should be implemented in packet tracer, with
the necessary devices and full configuration.
2. After completion, you should be able to test the conditions imposed.
3. You will have to submit the followings:
a. Network topology diagram with proper labels
b. The configuration commands of all the routers you have implemented.
c. VLSM tree
d. IP address table
